They packed their belongings and left her behind...

When we received the call about a dog and her puppies being abandoned at a property in Rietfontein, we expected to find scared, shut-down animals who had lost all trust in people. Instead, we found Romi. A 2-year-old Labrador X mom with three healthy puppies by her side and a tail that just would not stop wagging.

The people who had lived there had moved away and simply left them behind. Yet somehow, Romi still greeted us with happiness.

Her puppies were around 8 weeks old when they arrived. Thankfully, they were healthy and thriving. We got them vaccinated, cared for them, and each of them found loving homes of their own.

While her babies packed their bags and left for new adventures, Romi stayed behind. Day after day, she watches people come and go. Through it all, she keeps that same hopeful smile on her face.

She is wonderful with other dogs, absolutely adores human attention, and has one of those personalities that makes you feel welcome the second you meet her. All she really wants is what every dog deserves – a home where she will never have to wonder if she’s being left behind again.

If you think Romi could be the missing piece of your family, please contact us on 082 677 8086. If you can’t adopt, please share her story. Her puppies got their second chance. Now it’s Romi’s turn.
